In the early hours of October 5, 2024, Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies apprehended a known gang member after a lengthy pursuit that began in Escondido and ended just south of Dale Evans Parkway in Victorville.
The suspect, wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, led officers on a high-speed chase up Interstate 15. The pursuit came to a halt when the suspect’s vehicle ran out of gas.
Initially non-compliant, deputies deployed a flash grenade-type device, prompting the suspect to surrender. He exited the vehicle and was taken into custody along with a female passenger.
No further details were provided at the scene.
